The OA Defense 2311 Compact Pro Plus delivers competition-grade performance in a carry-friendly package. This optic-ready pistol combines the proven 1911/2011 platform with modern manufacturing precision and tactical enhancements.
What Makes This Different
The 17-4 stainless steel slide construction provides exceptional durability while the DLC-coated ported barrel reduces muzzle rise and enhances follow-up shot accuracy. Unlike standard 1911s, this model features a high-capacity double-stack magazine and ambidextrous controls. The High Desert Sage polymer grip frame reduces weight without sacrificing strength, creating an optimal balance for extended shooting sessions.
Key Features
- Optic-ready slide accepts popular red dot sights without modification
- DLC-coated 4.25" ported barrel for reduced recoil and faster target reacquisition
- 17-round magazine capacity in 9x19mm Parabellum
- 17-4 stainless steel slide with High Desert Sage finish
- Ambidextrous safety and magazine release for left and right-handed shooters
- High Desert Sage polymer grip frame with aggressive texturing
- Compatible with standard 1911 holsters and accessories
The ported barrel system significantly reduces felt recoil compared to non-ported variants, enabling faster split times in competitive shooting. The compact frame length makes this suitable for concealed carry while maintaining the accuracy potential of the full-size 2011 platform. Weather-resistant finishes protect against corrosion in humid environments or extended outdoor use.
